Reset Forgotten Admin Password on macOS Mojave SOLVED (for me at least)
Thanx to https://coolestguidesontheplanet.com & hcsitas (worked first time, no fuss no muss).
Recommend wired keyboard in case your bluetooth doesn't pair soon enough. Any ANSI $8.00 wired keyboard should work. Windows key instead of Command key? No problem, use the Windows key for the Command key.
Boot into Recovery Partition
Reboot into the Recovery Drive by choosing the ‘Apple‘ menu > Restart, hold down the ‘command (Windows)’ + ‘r’ keys on the keyboard during the start up process, when you see the start up screen you can let go. When the machine boots eventually you will see the macOS or OS X Utilities screen.
Go to the top left corner of your screen and choose the Utilites menu and select Terminal
At the prompt type ‘resetpassword’ (hit enter)
This launches the Reset Password screen, select the Volume Hard Drive in the top part of the window pane, then for the user that you need to reset select the user account in the lower part then add and confirm the new password and click save, you get a confirmation screen and details about the keychain account.
Go to the Apple Menu and click Restart to boot back to the normal hard drive and the new password will take effect immediately.
Yeah
